Feeding a Sphynx isn’t one-size-fits-all. These hairless athletes burn calories fast, need extra hydration, and thrive on high-quality protein. In this category you’ll find practical nutrition guides—straight from our cattery kitchen—to keep skin supple, bellies happy, and energy levels purring.
We cover everything from choosing a complete raw diet and rotating high-protein canned foods, to selecting a balanced kibble that won’t trigger weight gain or skin issues. You’ll learn portion sizes by age, safe transition timelines, and how to read pet-food labels like a pro.
All advice is field-tested on our own kittens, backed by veterinary recommendations, and easily adapted to busy households. Want a printable shopping checklist?
